Isolation and characterization of periplasmic cyclic β-glucans ofAzorhizobium caulinodans [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2003 Oligoglucose molecules isolated from Azorhizobium caulinodans were characterized by compositional analysis, Smith degradation, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry, and (1)H and (13)C nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. A.

β-Glucan Induces Training Immunity to Promote Antiviral Activity by Activating TBK1
Viruses, 2023 Many studies have shown that β-glucan induces a trained immune phenotype in innate immune cells to defend against bacterial and fungal infections. The specific mechanism involves cellular metabolism and epigenetic reprogramming.

Soluble mannan and β-glucan inhibit the uptake ofMalassezia furfurby human monocytic cell line, THP-1 [PDF]
FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology, 1998 The uptake of live and heat-killed Malassezia furfur HIC 3321, HIC 3343 and Candida albicans ATCC 10231 by human monocytic cell line, THP-1, was examined. THP-1 was differentiated by PMA for 7 days before use. The uptake of these yeasts by THP-1 was increased in a concentration-dependent manner of yeasts, and the uptake reached plateau level at the E/T

β-glucans and eicosapolyenoic acids as MAMPs in plant–oomycete interactions: past and present [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Branched β-1,3-glucans and the eicosapolyenoic acids (EP) are among the best characterized oomycete elicitors that trigger innate immune responses in plants. These elicitors were identified over three decades ago, and they were useful in the study of the sequence of physiological, biochemical and molecular events that induce resistance in plants ...

Characterization of cereal β-glucan extracts from oat and barley and quantification of proteinaceous matter. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 An extraction method for mixed-linkage β-glucan from oat and barley was developed in order to minimize the effect of extraction on the β-glucan structure.
